Allienz Frauen-Bundesliga 2017-18(Winters coming)

Seriously....

On what confused planet do you think anybody honestly watches this sport (male or female) and doesn't enjoy, understand, or respect the 100% completely valid/effective nature of highly skilled individualistic dribblers...?

Knowing the elite levels of the women's game are still way behind those witnessed with men, I can understand your eagerness in trying to push this narrative of less sophisticated methods potentially being a far more effective theme for female coaches to use.

However, I don't see how this correlates to the idea of the entire German wnt program needing to be less sophisticated in it's approach, when the results of it's most adaptable, and best coached team (U-19/20), continue to outshine all the rest (other wnt's within the program) on stylistic principles that haven't changed for close to a decade.

I mean your talking about Germany's senior players lacking creative freedom, during a long period it's also seen all these exact same players flourish together within youth and club teams, all focused around producing the exact attacking qualities past and present senior teams coaches can't, or won't establish.

 

She was defending air for the entire 30 mins I could bother to watch this game lol. That Essen team were sent on to that field as a complete tactical failure.

Both Feldkamp and Hegering are long time DM/CM's, so with little protection around them it's highly unsurprising to hear about both of them being completely overrun by Wolfsburg's attack.

So I don't know if Essen has a lot of injuries right now, but with their entire spine being comprised of players pushed into rather unfamiliar roles, I don't think it made this match a particularly good one to assess too many of their players fairly.

From the 30-40 mins I saw, it just looked like a pre season training match.

 

Okay Minde is going to Wolfsburg to sit on the bench

 

Watching this weeks highlights, why do I feel like we're about to see another Wolfsburg #1, and Bayern #2, final league place finish...

 

The probability for posting a gif rises with the number of games not seen squared

 

Agree, seeing the youngsters like Pajor, Siems, Gwinn, Buhl, Lohmann, Pawollek, Luhrßen... all doing very well starting matches for their teams as teenagers is rather impressive, knowing it's within a league that hasn't seen teens feature so prominently in recent years.

But the question now becomes is this potentially negative for them and the league in the long run, having such young players being important parts of 1st division teams competing within a long and physically draining league season...?

It has the short term benefit of providing Germnay's next U-20 team with more established options; but as you acknowledge, if the senior coaching remains the complete mess it's been for the past few years, or injury staggers promising careers, who knows where these players go next.

 

Known domestic quantities like Hausicke - Bremer - Schwalm - Rauch - Gasper - Ehegötz - Wedemeyer - Schüller were all either left out, not used, or injured for Germany's last U-20 WC squad. And look at the varying levels of success they've all seen in the time since that tournament.

I think Kim Kulig was the last impressive junior level domestic club player from this league to obtain a prominent role with the seniors lol. Meaning other prominent names from that generation like Popp, Huth, Kemme, Faißt, Wensing, Prießen, Simic, Baunach... all still struggle to gain or maintain senior wnt roles...

 

Wolfsburg vs Bayern today
I’ll give Bayern a chance because Peter’s probably gonna be on the other half
Wolfsburg’s in my opinion the favourites anyway

 

Leonie looked great under Neid yes
but used as a midfielder by Jones in her early day wasting her potential away and then she’s doing some good performances as RB to get benched by the one and only Blässe... gosh since we haven’t heard any more news about Jones I guess she’s continuing in her job?? ..

 

No Peter. She was planned to play LB, but wasn't fit or something. Laudehr as CB today...

 

2-0 after five minutes to Wolfsburg lol

 

2-1

 

The basic passing mistakes that Bayern does
Got pretty hot out there though with Popp, Wullart and Damjankovic

 

Is Peter a full time professional football player? Looks to me like she started playing football one year ago christ such a poor player that shouldn’t even be in the NT or Wolfsburg lol

Yes Gössling and Fischer were almost flawless yesterday

What Bayern lacks for me is a creative force in that midfield.. I also struggle to understand why Lewandowski’s always in the starting eleven, doesn’t do much for me really. Too bad that Laudehr has to play CB in Demann’s absence... Her abilities are wasted there

 

Hmmm, still using laudehr in a CB role, I'm guessing Bayern have some serious defensive issues....

 

watching the Wolfsburg game (highlights) every good ball from behind came from Gössling lol. Like you said in the Wolfsburg vs Bayern game, she and Fischer were really on point that day
